Throughput:

• ELITechGroup Selectra ProM: With a maximum throughput of 180 tests per hour, the Selectra ProM is suitable for labs with moderate sample volumes, providing efficient sample processing.

• HumaStar 300SR: The HumaStar 300SR offers a higher maximum throughput of 300 tests per hour, making it more suitable for labs with higher testing volumes.

Reagent Positions:

• ELITechGroup Selectra ProM: Providing 32 reagent positions, the Selectra ProM allows for a moderate range of tests without frequent reagent changes.

• HumaStar 300SR: With 40 reagent positions, the HumaStar 300SR offers slightly more flexibility in testing, accommodating a broader range of tests.

Reagent Cooling:

• ELITechGroup Selectra ProM: The Selectra ProM features reagent cooling at 10°C ± 4°, maintaining stable temperatures for reagent integrity.

• HumaStar 300SR: The HumaStar 300SR maintains reagents at 13°C below room temperature, ensuring stability for accurate and consistent test results.

Sample Positions:

• ELITechGroup Selectra ProM: The Selectra ProM offers 50 sample positions plus an additional 12 positions, providing flexibility for labs with varying sample volumes.

• HumaStar 300SR: With a larger sample capacity of 60 positions, the HumaStar 300SR is well-suited for labs with higher sample volumes.

Sample Barcode Reader:

• ELITechGroup Selectra ProM: Equipped with an internal sample barcode reader, the Selectra ProM enhances sample identification accuracy.

• HumaStar 300SR: The HumaStar 300SR also comes with an internal sample barcode reader, contributing to accurate sample identification.

Cuvettes:

• ELITechGroup Selectra ProM: The Selectra ProM uses 48 semi-disposable cuvettes, combining a balance between reusability and disposability.

• HumaStar 300SR: Utilizing 80 re-usable Bionex cuvettes, the HumaStar 300SR provides a larger cuvette capacity, potentially reducing the frequency of cuvette replacements and offering flexibility in testing.

Water Consumption:

• ELITechGroup Selectra ProM: With a low water consumption rate of 0.5 liters per hour, the Selectra ProM is efficient in water usage.

• HumaStar 300SR: The HumaStar 300SR has a very low water consumption rate of less than 3 liters per hour, contributing to operational cost efficiency and environmental sustainability.

Considerations:

• Throughput: The HumaStar 300SR has a higher throughput, making it more suitable for labs with higher testing volumes.

• Reagent Positions: The HumaStar 300SR provides slightly more reagent positions, offering increased flexibility in testing.

• Temperature Control: Both analyzers have reagent cooling features to maintain stable temperatures for accurate test results.

• Sample Tracking: Both analyzers are equipped with internal sample barcode readers, enhancing sample identification accuracy.

• Cuvettes: Laboratories need to consider the type and capacity of cuvettes based on their preferences and cost considerations.

• Water Consumption: Both analyzers have low water consumption rates, contributing to operational cost efficiency and environmental sustainability. The ELITechGroup Selectra ProM has a slightly lower water consumption rate.
